DuPont Unveils Tyvek® APX™: A Game Changer in Worker Safety

DuPont, a leader in safety and protection solutions, officially introduced Tyvek® APX™ on November 4, 2025, at the A+A 2025 trade show in Dusseldorf, Germany. This groundbreaking disposable chemical garment fabric is designed to revolutionize the comfort and safety experience for workers across various sectors.

A Revolutionary Fabric

Tyvek® APX™ represents the latest advancement in DuPont's iconic Tyvek® brand, developed after extensive scientific research and collaboration with customers. It addresses one of the major challenges in protective clothing: how to enhance breathability without sacrificing safety and durability. Dave Kee, the Global Business Director for DuPont Personal Protection, stated, "With the launch of Tyvek® APX™, we've created a revolutionary form of Tyvek® material, which meets one of the most pressing health and safety challenges."

Enhancing Worker Well-Being

In recent years, increasing emphasis has been placed on worker comfort and safety in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to heavy manufacturing. Workers often face significant challenges related to heat build-up while using protective coveralls. Tyvek® APX™ tackles this by allowing efficient dissipation of body heat, thus enhancing comfort and reducing the risk of overheating.

The adoption of more breathable protective garments is not just a trend, but a regulatory focus as well. Companies are under pressure to provide better working conditions, making breathable garments essential for worker safety. Tyvek® APX™ offers the ultimate balance between comfort and protection, allowing moisture and heat to escape, which keeps workers comfortable throughout their shifts.

Tapping into the Science of Comfort

DuPont's definition of comfort extends beyond mere physical ease; it encompasses a reduction in the risk of heat-related distress while wearing essential protective gear. The benefits claimed for Tyvek® APX™ are scientifically validated through an independent physiological study conducted by Empa, which demonstrated the fabric's superior breathability compared to traditional garments.

Global wear trials involved nearly 300 participants from diverse industries and regions, testing the garments under various temperature and humidity conditions, as well as different levels of activity. Participants consistently preferred the high-breathability Tyvek® APX™ fabric over traditional options.

The Legacy of Safety and Protection

For over 50 years, the DuPont™ Tyvek® brand has set the standard for protective clothing. Kee emphasized that Tyvek® APX™ could redefine the experience of feeling safe and protected at work. “We are taking that legacy to a new level with Tyvek® APX™, implementing advanced design features that are scientifically proven to enhance comfort and safety.”

Conclusion

The introduction of Tyvek® APX™ marks a significant advancement in personal protective equipment. By prioritizing the well-being of workers while ensuring high standards of safety, DuPont looks to lead the way in transforming work environments across diverse sectors.
